[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Best-Hold Selection Sort Order

[Michele Morgan]

Hi Johnnie,

NOBLE implemented "Traditional with Holds Always Go Home" Best-Hold
Selection Sort Order systemwide so that items will always travel home if
there are any holds for pickup at the owning library.

We actually tweaked it a bit, removing approx and aprox. Since we do not
adjust proximity, there's no need to include them.

Hope this helps.

Michele
